My Very Next Shipwreck

misfit wine

You know when you’re creating something and it comes out exactly how you wanted it, and then it becomes you favorite? This one is still my favorite and has not been dethroned yet.

The song is all by me - words, vocals, bass, the “guitar” - all except the drum track which is by the Boss 1180-BR. As usual, the guitar is loaded up with FX since I don’t play guitar, just bass.

It is the story of the moment of realization that one has been picking the same type of guy, for whatever reason. So, the character in this song realized that she keeps picking this one type of guy who is disrespectful, and treats her poorly, and she just takes it…
Then she realizes that by getting involved with guys that jerk her around, she doesn’t have to actually grow up herself. She can always be in crisis mode and obsess over her pain, instead!

Lyrics, abridged:
You knew just what to do.
You had me at, “Fuck you,” you said.
Invited me into your bed. I knew -
You are a rock.
My very next shipwreck,
It’s true.
And I invited you.

All you had to do was say
“Shut up bitch,”
that’s the way to scratch my itch.
It’s true.
You’re a rock,
My very next shipwreck.
I wreck myself on you.

All you had to do was say,
“Lie down, face down, on the ground,”
and you began to pound.

Chorus…

All those times that you were late
And I would sit like a good girl and wait
Those precious moments sealed my fate.

You are a rock, it’s true.
My very next shipwreck.
I must have recgnized you.

The very first time
you didn’t bother to show up
I knew once again
I wouldn’t have to grow up.

Chorus etc.
